February 5 – Settling An Order

“First, the process to settle an order has a narrow purpose: “to ensure that the formal order accurately sets out the intention of the court as reflected in the endorsement or reasons for decision”: Paul Perell and John Morden, The Law of Civil Procedure in Ontario, 2nd ed. (Toronto: LexisNexis, 2014), at para. 11.29. The process of settling an order is not an opportunity for either party to re-argue issues already decided in an effort to change the result set out in the judge’s reasons.”
